Ossoff: "This is one of the most consequential votes this Senate will take all year. By saying yea or nay to the clerk of the Senate later today, senators will decide whether people live or die. Senators will decide whether Georgians & folks across the country are financially ruined or have a shot."

Whitehouse: Not only were the founders extremely interested in checks and balances but they were desperately concerned about corruption.
This Court has consistently taken the side of corruption against every device Congress has created to fight political corruption.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Dayanne Figueroa is a Chicagoan, an American citizen, a mother, and a victim of the Trump Administration’s cruel anti-immigrant agenda.
ICE agents smashed her car, pulled her with guns drawn, and violently arrested her.
Thank you for bravely sharing your story with Congress.

China was the largest export market for American farmers in 2024. They bought 27 metric tons of soybeans last year. They stopped buying in 2025 when Trump started his trade war. These are simple, obvious, basic facts. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Leavitt: "President Trump convinced President Xi to continue purchasing again American soybeans, which is something China wasn't doing under the last administration because they had no respect for President Biden or the country at the time."

Putin demands Ukraine withdraw or he'll "liberate" by force occupation framed as negotiation. This is the "peace" Trump Jr. sells: capitulate or Russia finishes the job. Offering victims surrender or annihilation isn't diplomacy; it's extortion with an American blessing.

Follow up: it doesn’t say it’s illegal to fire on incapacitated shipwrecked. It just says it’s illegal to fire on the shipwrecked. Where’d you get “incapacitated” and why are you such an asshole?
Q: "The Pentagon's Law of War manual…says 'Orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal.' Given that, how was that follow up strike on the two survivors legal?"
Tom Cotton: "They were not incapacitated… They were sitting or standing on top of a capsized boat."

Disgusting, Trumpian move:
It took dozens of special agents the best part of a decade to bring Juan Orlando Hernández to justice for flooding US cities with cocaine. Then, in a single social media post last week, Donald Trump set the former Honduran president free.
